SG Blocks Executes Contract to Acquire Manufacturing Facility

Closing scheduled to occur in 60 days, owner financing is in place. This will serve as the Company’s second manufacturing space in Oklahoma

SG Blocks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGBX) (“SG Blocks” or the “Company”), a leading designer, innovator and fabricator of container-based structures, announced today that it has entered into contract to acquire an additional manufacturing facility in anticipation of rising demand for internal and external projects. The facility is located in Durant, OK, and will add to the Company’s manufacturing capacity.

“We are pleased with our experience in Oklahoma and in the Durant Community. Our desire to expand here is based upon our satisfaction with the spirit and quality of the workforce. As we continue to grow and earn further new business, we have been fortunate to meet that growth with the proper facilities in Oklahoma and elsewhere,” Paul Galvin, Chairman and CEO explained.

The space is approximately 55,000 SF and sits on approximately seven acres of land in Durant Industrial Park. The facility is adjacent to the regional airport. This will serve as the second facility that SG Blocks has obtained, since recently adding the original SG Echo factory.

The new facility will allow SG Blocks to run two additional production lines in parallel to support SGB DevCorp as well as SG Echo in tandem.

The Company had previously announced it intended to exercise its option to acquire the existing 19-acre site and all of its structures from ECHO DCL, LLC with closing to occur in the second quarter of 2021. The Company has decided not to move forward with the option at this time and will continue to lease the original ECHO plant under the 5-year lease term. The Company will redeploy capital allocated for the original ECHO DCL real estate purchase into the newly acquired facility.

“We believe redeploying the capital allocated for the original ECHO DCL real estate purchase into the newly acquired facility provides better value for us and look forward to having additional lines coming on board to support demand. We have found a capable and enthusiastic workforce as we look to deliver safe and green structures across the country,” Bill Rogers, COO of SG Blocks said.

The Company expects to announce the closing of the contract in August 2021.
